Lots of antique crazing but still a very sturdy piece. It would also be lovely to repair using the Kintsugi technique. The Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with gold. Kintsugi highlights cracks and repairs as events in the life of an object, rather than allowing its service to end at the time of its damage or breakage. Making something broken even more beautiful. Other wear is commensurate with age and use. Please see the photos as they are part of the description. less
